To ALL WHOM IT MAY concisely:`

Be it known that I, SOLOMON-S. AVIS, of Penns Grove, in thecou-nty of Salem, :und State-o'fNew Jersey,"

haveinvented a new and useful Improved Lard Press and I do hereby declare that the following-is e. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in he nrtv to make and .use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which-I Figures 1 and 2 are respectively, a sectional side view of the press and afcen'trcl lvertical section of the cylinder ofthe same. 4

i Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

The object of this ,invention is ,to furnish n cheap, simple, and effective lard-,press for household use, the construction and operation of which will nowbe set forth. I

. The eye-plates A are ailxed firmly to the under side 'of the base-block B,.as snown,"a.nd pass up through holes a'a in the same. The screw Dworks in a. hollow thread'in the cross-bnr E, which is hinged to the linkllt by nn eye-plate, z', aixed to the cross-bnr E, as'shown. lThe other link, h, slips over vthe end -of the cross-bar, as shownat lc. The follow-blockl G is perforated, to permit Ithe expressed oil to flow through when the seid block is actuated'downwards. A lateral chamber, m, of the sume material as the cylinder, (which latter is commonly of tin,) is aixed to the cylinder, as s'hown,land the bottom thereof is lformed into n spout, l, for conducting' off the expressed oil. The cylinder communicates'with this-chamber by menus ofthe perforations b, as shown. The cross-bnr is slotted, at un, to t on 'the eye of the cylinder. The screw is formed with a square head, as shown, to receive a. wrench or handle for turning the screw. The follow-block is removed by slipping o the link h from the lcross-bztr,'e.nd lifting the'latter, ltogether with the screw, means of the hinge i and link It" aforesaid. The point of the screw merely'bears upon the plate o aiixed Vtothe follow-block,.and therefore does not requirethat the latter be raised with it. This arrangementof parts is-simple,icheap,and effective.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The screw D, cross-bnr E, links tfk, follow-block` G',".cy1inde r I, chamber m, spout l, and eye-pletes'A, all constructed, combined, and arranged substantially as sho'wn and described and for the general purpose set forth.
